[lace-chat] :) Fwd: AUSSIE JOKE

2006-07-10 Thread Tamara P Duvall
I thought the term disappeared with the hippie culture, but, 
apparently, not... :)



From: S.M.


A Northern Territory farm hand radios back to the farm manager.

Boss, I gotta helluva problem here. I hit a pig with the ute. The pig's 
OK, but he's stuck in the bullbars at  the front of my ute and is 
wriggling and squealing so much I can't get him out."

 
The manager says,"Ok, there's a 303 behind the seat. Take it, shoot the 
pig in the head and you'll be able to remove him."


Five minutes later the farm hand calls back, "I did what you said boss.
Took the 303, shot the pig in the head and removed him from the 
bull-bars. No problem there, but I still can't go on".


"Now what's the problem?" raged the Manager.

Well boss, it's his motor-bike. The flashing blue light is stuck under 
the right-front wheel arch."


"You there, Boss?"

[lace-chat] Knitting Machine

2006-07-10 Thread Dee Palin
A friend of mine has kindly given me an ancient Brother Knitting Machine. 
All the parts seem to be there, including tow sets of tools - but not the 
instruction book.  I have tried ringing Brother, and also gone online for 
help, but no luck.  It is not even a punch card machine, and everyone tells 
me it is too old to be of any use.  It has no number on it other than the 
serial number.


However, I would really love to use it, and wondered if anyone might have 
one, and could to tell me at least how to thread it up.  If anyone can help, 
if you could email me privately, I could even send a photo of it to aid 
identification.


Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Dear Friends,
I was just wondering today whether anyone here is in contact with Jean
Peach's husband. He was the one who was always so ill, not her! Some years
ago I helped him with info for a book he was writing and am curious to know
how he's going/coping.
Thanks
David in Ballarat
